Background

As a litigator handling complex cases, a certified mediator, a former county magistrate, and former chief municipal judge, Greg Sloan has seen just about everything a lawyer might encounter. But one case stands out, according to Sloan: the time he helped an elderly woman recover her dog from animal control and received a blueberry pie as payment. It is, he says, his proudest accomplishment as a lawyer.

The Charlotte, North Carolina native earned his political science and law degrees at the University of South Carolina.
